Heisenberg On the stability of laminar flow, Proc.
Heliox's low density produces a lower Reynolds number and hence higher probability of laminar flow for any given airway.
In addition to their streamlined bodies, they have smooth networks of muscle bundles in their skin that may increase laminar flow and make it easier for them to slip through water.
In the linear laminar flow region, Poiseuille's law describes the hydraulic resistance of a pipe, but in the turbulent flow region the pressure–flow relations become nonlinear.
In the Near East, the laminar microliths of the Kebarian culture were superseded by the geometric microliths of the Natufian tradition a little more than 11,000 years ago.
In the small airways where flow is laminar, resistance is proportional to gas viscosity and is not related to density and so heliox has little effect.
It should be noted, however, that the presence of eddies or recirculation alone does not necessarily indicate turbulent flow—these phenomena may be present in laminar flow as well.
